Bridget,

You have been an absolute rock to so many of us for so long and yet you always manage to make us smile and feel relaxed… you do more than your part to make such an intrinsically morbid place to be into a delight at times.:-)

God bless you, I love you.8-)

Dai.

Hi Kirsty a big welcome to you although this site must be the last place you thought you would need. I am glad you found it though as it will help you get your head around being diagnosed with myeloma Try not to look elsewhere on the internet as a lot of the info is out of date and some of it is just plain scaremongering You must still feel…[Read more]

Hi Dai

Janet sounds a very lovely Lady and that am not surprised nor shocked as am sure you are a true gentelman and would only marry a Lovely Lady 😀

Hi Kirsty

Hi Dai funnily enough I have been thinking the same thing lately I really miss the chatty lighthearted moments on here This board is brilliant for finding out facts re mm and even more so for support but its so nice to be amongst like minded people and relax too. I probably have been a bit quiet lately si I will get back to normal I think love Bridget x

If you know what I meant then you are right to pretend that you don't… if you genuinely don't know what I meant then you don't need to pretend… best not really.:-D

But it was good wishes of the 'thank heaven for that' variety… I am sure that Stephen can translate.;-)

Go girl, pack now and go… and enjoy every single minute of your…[Read more]

Ha, you are right there Tom.

Min has explained to me that I can't make plans for Janet after I have gone… she is unique to herself and will deal with my passing as she fits, or as the occasion takes her… but I can't help looking at how our friends have dealt with loss and grief… from Roz, Tina, Sarah and Min and wonder which path will be…[Read more]

Ditto to that Dai, and it looks like she is very active and keeping herslf busy.

Ps Am not sure what Dai Means??:-P

Hi Gill,

A few weeks ago Min decided it was time to move on from being an active member of the forum, although she may well look in from time to time.

I don't know if you have a facebook account but you can find her (and many of us) there. Look for Min Cato and request friendship.. if she is in a good mood she might sign you up.:-0…[Read more]

Hi Tom 🙂 ,

In a nutshell my bloods have to be monitored closely to ensure that they do not drop to the point where either the prescription has to be [b]A[/b] altered (downward) or worse still, [b]B[/b] discontinued.:-(

After Cycle 1 there is a discernible drop but not to the point of either [b]A[/b] or [b]B[/b]… because of the nature of…[Read more]

Well Eve you certainly aint any of the above 😀

As I said in Last post I had mine all done prior to SCT some at the start of treatment some nearer my SCT , but am not sure anyone can say whats Normal with our Consultants (as good as the are) they all work in a different way.

Good Luck and hope you and Slim dont have anymore Hiccups…[Read more]
